Better SMS App - Touch HD General

Hi!
I have tried a lot of skins on the HD (Full SPB suite etc) but my conclusion is that TF3D is the right choice for me.
But I still have one little thing that bothers me. It's the sms writing and reading which defaults to wm6.1. I think it's quite cumbersome to create a new sms or mms. My question is if anyone know about any sms application which will make it more touch friendly and intuitive to write sms and mms. I have googled but ended up empty handed.

Threaded SMS App

Ok I have a question. Since PocketCM has its own threaded sms and looks good with the bubbles etc, shouldnt it be possible for someone to make a threaded sms app with that same kinda look and interface? I mean, pocketCM is nice but it wont pop up automatically for me when I get a new text and u cant do it like the normal messaging app having an inbox whereas using pocketCM u have look up the contact, go to it then click on sms and history and that seems like a lil much just to get to messaging and its only for that person. I'd rather not have scroll thru all my contacts just to get to one. The guys at PocketCM should look into making their iown messaging app
if they could set it up like the shogun threaded messaging app w/ fixed input so you could see what your typing when using SIP keyboard it would be awesome, it doesnt seem like it would be too hard, but maybe it is
Shouldn't be too hard. PocketCM automatically shifts upward when typing a new message. I really like the interface of the sms part of PocketCM. Does anybody know a mortscript script to bring pocketCM up on the "Contacts with SMS" screen? Or maybe a .lnk shortcut for that??
Good question....I am waiting such application asa well, since Palm messaging didnt work well on my PPC.
my sentiments exactly... another one who's waiting for a good sms theader..
I'm waiting for this one.... hopefully it's going to be ok have waited a long time, though. Maybe it's difficult to make such an application.....

what about just combine the in and sent box?
I was waiting for such an app too, palm app didn't just do it for me. My brother bought an iPhone, i played around with it and i really liked the SMS App, so i decided to develop my own Threaded SMS. Currently i am working on it, but it's going a bit slow cause i dont have enough time to work on. I'll post it here asa i get an alpha ready.
Meanwhile if you have any suggestions or features that this app can have, plz dont hesitate to drop me a PM
cheers

i would love to see the inbox and sent box threaded on one screen, so there is no need to go seperate contacts in order to see who i've texted....

Uhm, that's not how PCM works. If it doesn't pop up automatically and you have it set to in the options menu, you should check with tene over at pocketcm.com. As for scrolling down to find who sent you an sms, if you just go to the sms screen, it will be the first contact at the top of the list. They're sorted chronologically. That's how most other threader programs do it too. If you've been scrolling down through all of your contacts on the main screen, you've been wasting your time.
just wait for wm6.1, its got a great threaded sms
the Cody threaded sms is pretty good, but kinda slow and laggy and the most annoying thing is that sometimes it just opens up by it self. Is there anyway to fix that?
does anyone know of any other good threaded sms programs? I tried cody's threaded sms, it opened on its own, sent multiple copies of messages, and sometimes didnt even send messages. I installed textr but it just froze my mogul. I dont like pocketcm or the sms app from pocket-sms.com because they arent fully integrated. does anyone know of any other sms programs that work correctly and fully replace the default sms app (like cody's threaded sms does)?
yea i have the same problem as you Sturatt. I have been searching for a good SMS app. cannot find anything. I really like the Cody's Threaded sms features and layout but it has too many problems and does not work well on my Mogul. I want a good SMS app that is similar to cody's threaded sms. Also I don't want to wait for WinMo 6.1 if it is ever released.
Please see itje's thread about the WM6.1 ROM he's scheduled to release this weekend. I think that's what he meant when he said just wait for WM6.1...
Windows Mobile v6.1 ROM due to be released by itje - Touch IT
oh thats good news. Thanks for letting me know, I cant wait now.
Extreme Text by Birdsoft
Has anyone tried Extreme Text by Birdsoft. Its not freeware, $14.95. But it looks simple and stable and you can use poutlook and it reads the same database.
Any thoughts?

exactly. More than anything, i want it to completely take the place of the default sms app (like palm's app). Threaded would be nice, but even if its not, ill settle for a program that just replaces the default app.

So then what's your problem with PCM again?

Working on porting Palm Threaded sms to the Diamond

Ive got it pretty much done im just having issues getting the palm app to interface with the TF3D messaging tab.
sometimes it will grab the message but it does not appear correctly. but 97.9% of the time the TF3D tab will not show "no messages" when there is new messages.
the app its self works quite well though. and i prefer it over the WM 6.1 sms app
any input would be appreciated
does any one know how to get Manila to interface with the messageing.exe rather then tamail.exe - text
I know this thread is really old but it got me curious. Can you post what you've done so far? Have you made any further progress? I love Palm's threaded SMS and I'd love it on my Diamond. Were you able to get it to resize when the SIP pops up?
Any screenshots that you can upload?

SMS Look

Hi all,
What I am talking about here, is if there is any application to replace the current sms interface with a larger and cooler one. I don't know if I am that bad in searching but I couldn't find one thread talking about that. Is there anything like Inesoft contacts, dialer etc... but for the sms interface??
There is one called SMS-Chat and another one called Smiley SMS. They are the only two I know of. Hope they can be of help to you.
I recently tried SMS Chat and though the interface looked a lot better than the built-in one, it was terribly slow
I tried Smiley SMS which I didn't like at all. I am trying now SMS Chat, if I like it I am going to buy it. One question, is it possible to make sms chat the default SMS manager instead of the built it one??
I was looking for something more like the iPhone SMS interface but I think there is no one available at the moment, and maybe I should try and make one myself.

Threaded SMS - recovering old messages

I have searched on the site, but could not find anything related to my issue.
I've found that the Windows 6.1 threaded messaging has a cap (which I would like to know what it is) I was wondering if anyone knew an easy way of accessing the older messages/threads?
Cheers!
Hi,
Try to use pimbackup, but first you have to disabled threaded sms, and after enable threaded sms to the regedit.
I cant find this thread, where some user tried this with pimbackup, but I can say that it worked fine last time.
hope I was able to help

[REQ]using default sms app

I've searched and searched but just can't find it, most threads don't have intuitive titles to help with the search so hopefully if we get a solution this will help others.
My request is pretty simple (I hope anyway), the HTC Sense SMS app sucks. It's slow, slow and slow; plus the text is tooooooo small for comfortable viewing/ reading outdoors. Is there anyway to switch to the default windows SMS app without flashing a custom ROM.
I haven't sold my [email protected] yet and this might jst be the deal breaker for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Go to your messages menu (from the all messages view) and tap menu/options/traditional mode.
You can get the WM client by searching for and downloading the "Zenyee Messaging cab". But I can't guarantee everything working perfectly (I think I had trouble with MMS using the Zenyee cab).
For me, if I have a ROM cooked with standard windows messaging and I apply that cab to use the HTC messaging, it breaks MMS. If I have a ROM with HTC messaging as default, applying the cab to use the standard windows messaging breaks MMS. I cannot win.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Just for your reference "traditional mode"; means its threaded. It doesn't change the app.
